  • Can I get SSN based on H1 Approval

    Hi Experts,

    Previously I was on H4 in USA. I applied for H1 and my application got selected in May 2008 and got appoved. My Approval has come into validity from Oct 2008. But I went to India in SEP 2008 and got H4 Visa renewal stamped in india in november since I have not received H1 Approval from my employer. Now I came to USA again.

    My question is can i get Social security number based on H1 Approval or Do I need to go for COS ( from H4 to H1 ) ?

    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Unless your status is H1, you cannot get SSN.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

        That means, I need to apply for COS ( From H4 to H1 ), is that correct?

        Thanks for your replies.
